History
Betty Joyce (Curran) Carter was born in Dartsmouth, Nova Scotia in 1933. She received a Bachelor of Arts from Mount St. Vincent University in 1972 and a Master's of Social World from Dalhousie University in 1974. She then moved to St. Catherine's, Ontario to be supervisor of the Special Child Abuse team at the Family and Children's Services of the Niagara. In 1984 she began her PhD at the University of Toronto and obtained her degree in 1990. She worked under the mentorship of Margit Eichler, Dorothy Smith and later Gillian Walker. Her thesis was entitled "But You Should Have Known: Child Sexual Abuse and the Non-Offending Mother." This was later published as a book titled "Who's to Blame?" In the 1990s Carter, along with Dr. Brian O'Neill, developed a course in LGBT issues for the School of Social Work at the University of British Columbia, the first of it's kind in Canada.
In 1995, she served as research associate to the Gove Inquiry into the death of a child known to child welfare services in BC. The Inquiry operated under the leadership of Justice Thomas Gove.
Betty Joyce Carter retired from UBC in 1998, the same year she would have gone up for tenure. In her retirement, she contributed to the Gay & Lesbian Centre in Vancouver in their development of social service outreach. She died in Vancouver on September 27, 2024.
